Facing network issues, Ladakh people residing close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and Line of Control (LOC) have been demanded high speed internet.
Students are left with no option but to travel miles to reach network areas and attend online classes where they get 4G internet. Residents have urged several times to the government, but nothing concrete has been done, they say.
Konchok Stanzin, Chushul Councillor of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), said most of the villages on Chinese side along the LAC had 5G connectivity, but even 4G connection was rare on this side of the border.
He said a tower with 4G connectivity by a private company was installed in October last year in Chushul after much effort. “There are 11 more villages in the Chushul constituency. Amid no 4G tower, people have to suffer a lot,” he said.
